Atlantis "Kin" Review (Spoilers!)

5/12/2015

 
PictureBBC
by Helen Langdon

Atlantis this week is all about the parental relationships, appropriately enough for an episode entitled “Kin”. While Icarus keeps on digging himself a betrayal hole trying to keep his father alive, Jason’s getting fought over by Aeson and Pasiphae. It’s Atlantis coming down firmly on the nature side of the nature vs nurture debate; it doesn’t matter what kind of upbringing Jason’s had, what matters is whether he follows his mother into darkness or his father back out into the light.

ICYMI - Red Dwarf's Back For More!

5/11/2015

Back in 1988, the end arrived. Or at least “The End” aired, first episode of sci-fi comedy show Red Dwarf. Over the following 11 years, eight series of the show aired on the BBC, parodying science fiction conventions and films. Ten years later, the boys from the Dwarf returned for “Back to Earth” for Dave, followed by series ten in 2012.

Now, 27 years after the human race was reduced down to human slime Lister, he’s back along with hologram Rimmer, the Cat and android Kryten for two more series, to be broadcast on Dave in 2016 and 2017.

But just how many science fiction tropes have they got left to mine? Let’s take a quick look at some they’ve already managed to cover...

Mothers' Day: The Mums of Doctor Who

PictureNot that type of Mummy
by Helen Langdon

Last year we talked about the dads of Doctor Who. This Mothers’ Day, why don’t we look at some of the best mums of Doctor Who? Motherhood means caring about your child, putting their welfare above your own, but it also means being able to let them go when they want to fight aliens and travel around the universe. Here are some of the Doctor Who mums we admire.

Atlantis "The Dying of the Light" Review (Spoilers!)

5/5/2015

 
PictureBBC
by Helen Langdon

The trailer for this episode of Atlantis promised us a Jason with his heart “blackened” by the knowledge that his mother was Pasiphae, series antagonist, murderer and best bitch-face in town. There were shades of Star Wars all over “The Dying of the Light”, what with Jason turning to the dark side, parental figures fighting for Jason’s allegiances and Pasiphae going all Darth Vader on her general. Appropriate for airing on the weekend before Star Wars Day.

Atlantis "The Gorgon's Gaze" Review (Spoilers!)

4/27/2015

 
PictureBBC
by Helen Langdon

Atlantis is getting bleak this week. Remember back at the start of the season, when the Oracle predicted dire things lay ahead for Jason if he found out his true parentage? He might find out at the end of “The Gorgon’s Gaze”, but he starts turning to the dark side a bit before that. Medusa still can't escape her guilt over killing the Oracle to escape her curse, and so to make amends, she makes a life-changing decision.

Atlantis "The Madness of Hercules" Review (Spoilers!)

4/20/2015

 
PictureBBC
by Helen Langdon

“The Madness of Hercules” is a bit of a misleading title for this week’s episode of Atlantis. Given that moniker, we might expect Hercules to be the focus of the episode, maybe drawing on mythological accounts of his insanity. But instead what we get is a fairly solid episode that advances the ongoing plot, and which really shines when it allows itself to have a quiet, character-driven moment.

Atlantis "A Fate Worse Than Death" Review (Spoilers!)

4/13/2015

 
PictureBBC
by Helen Langdon

There’s a definite sense of sadness coming into this episode of Atlantis. It’s been four months since the season paused halfway through, and three months since the BBC told us that we’re not getting any more episodes. After these seven, there’s to be no more broad rewriting of Greek mythology on BBC One’s Saturday nights. And that’s disappointing, given how much better this season has been.

Who Only Live Twice!

4/4/2015

 
PictureBBC
by Helen Langdon

It’s that time of the year where Christian societies celebrate a man who died and came back to life so that we could all eat chocolate. And teach us about love and peace and stuff. But how does this relate in a geeky context? Well, what about those TV characters who died and came back to teach us a lesson about the fact that beloved characters never die? While a lot of TV shows are guilty of using the Back From The Dead trope, it’s Doctor Who which has turned it into an artform.
